1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous genetic loci associated with complex diseases, the underlying molecular mechanisms of how these loci contribute to disease pathogenesis remain largely unknown, due to the lack of an efficient strategy to identify these risk variants. Here, we proposed a new strategy termed integrated transcriptome and epigenome analysis (iTEA) to identify functional genetic variants in non-coding elements. We considered type 2 diabetes mellitus as a model and identified a well-known diabetic risk variant rs35767 using iTEA. Furthermore, we discovered a new functional SNP, rs815815, involved in glucose metabolism. Our study provides an approach to directly and quickly identify functional genetic variants in type 2 diabetes mellitus, and this approach can be extended to study other complex diseases.
